Slab!

Simple. Truck pulls up to the back window. Dumps it in. Done. Well...


Who's this clown?


Donald and Ray finish it off smoooth.



Now that's smooth.

Pre-Slab

5 Tons of stone outside (needs to be on the level inside).


Tada! Then 6mil vapor barrier and 1/2 inch insulation:


Wire Re-Mesh and ReBar and then Pex tubing for Radiant heat.


That's right: Radiant Heat in the Slab, in the bathroom, under the tub.

Raise the Roof (well, ceiling)

The back room ceiling is raised from 8 to 10 feet.

Most of the angled new lumber is to make the interior and joints level. (The plumbing is for the second floor.)
